As Off-Broadway's Drama Dept. prepares for its latest production, Mondo Drama, by Douglas Carter Beane, plans are in the works to bring another Beane project to fruition. The company will workshop Lysistrata Jones, a musical Beane wrote with Lewis Flinn, in June.

Christopher Ashley, a frequent Drama Dept. Collaborator, will direct. No cast has been announced.

The show is described as being "in the tradition of Carmen Jones and Cleopatra Jones" and is a musical adaptation of Aristophanes' company about a group of Greek women who deny their warrior men sex in order to put an end to an ongoing war.
